"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. " Romans 8 2 . Jesus paid the price for us and now we are loosened from the bonds of the devil. But this does not give us an excuse to given into the desires of the flesh. Instead, we are to be like Christ and walk as He walked. Jesus went about doing good and helping others.God 's love constrains His people to do good and serve and obey one another. We should have a willing heart to help people. We are to do good especially to the household of faith. Think about others and not ourselves. This is done by the will of God and being obedient to the call He has placed on our lives, when He called us out of darkness and into His marvelous and holy light.
